The Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA) of 1974 is a U.S. law that aims to ensure all students have equal access to educational opportunities, regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. It prohibits discrimination and mandates that schools take steps to eliminate barriers that prevent equal participation. This includes providing necessary support, resources, and programs to help all students succeed academically. The law seeks to create inclusive learning environments where every student can thrive, promoting fairness in education across the country.
